Bobby Dodd, lor two years Dixie's
outstanding quarterback, says mental
stance paves the way for fqotball vic
tories. '
"ah tut tMk nbaut smartness and
psychology Is good stuff, but it's the
old lrame 01 mino. uw f.

, For three seasons Dodd has been
the sonnrnllsslmo of Tennessee's great
football teams and almost unanimous
choice for all southern quarterback
In 19S8 and 1930.
"Psychology will bent you In the
long run," he continued. "You can
win with It sometimes, but In a tight
place some other buy 1b going to 'out
psychologlze' you. It doesn't pay, to
be too smart. You're riding for a fall
when you get that way."
' ' ,A Cool performer.
"The boy whose heart pumps les
water." That's the way one writer
pictured Dodd, one of tbe coolest per
formers" under fire In Dixie.
. Bobby Doesn't believe In following
set rules In mapping out his attack,
explaining, "I try to start out Just
like a boxer feeling out his opponent,
x feint around with several plays,
keeping close note on how certain
plays go or iaii to bi.
I'm in- a scorlne snot I've got a pretty
good Idea which one of our pet
touchdown plays will work.

your opponents aren't mighty dumb,
they can cross you up. You've got to
figure what they're expecting and
aire them something different.
"Advlco to quarterbacks and you
know I'm going to start teaching
them at George Tech next fall Is to
study possible situations revolving
around your plays ahead of time and
then have several solutions available
for use when tho time conies. Don't
watt for the circumstances and then
try to depend on your quick thinking
to get you out of trouble." Dodd be
lieves psychology Is of greatest use
In studying the men on one's own
team.

aggressiveness throughout counted

Fills Big Shoes
LAFAYETTE, Ind. UP) Charles
Stewart, a 20-ycor-old sophomore,
was Coach Ward Lambert's selection
to IU1 the big shoes left vacant when

Murphy, who holds the Western con

a season and during a single game.
In his first Big Ten game Stewart
netted only one basket from the
floor. He Was, however, facing the
veteran and vorsatllo Michigan ath
lete, Norman Daniels. Purdue lost
the game 23-39.
Stewart, who. llkd Murohy, is
product of the Hoosler basketball
belt, handles himself somewhat like
"Stretch," moving around the floor
scmcwhat awkwardly and apparent
slowness. Mxirphy's great height and
eye for the basket nullified his awkwardness.
Stewart, an Indiana produot, came
to Purdue from Attica High school.
Murphy was graduated from the Mar
lon High school and In his last year
played upon the Indiana State cham
pionship team.
Murohv was Purdue's center three
years 1928, 'SO and '30. During his
first vear he set a new Big Ten scor

George Vccnker of Michigan's bas

Woodem's most effective scoring
play Is a quick break down the floor
after standing still slowly dribbling

In close to Wooden and thus they
avoid the shouldor or elbow which
Johnny uses to tip an opponent off
